In case, you’re an FPV enthusiast you know one racing quadcopter is not enough. It is why we like the idea of this Think Thank Photo’s FPV Airport Helipak, it could fit around two to three mini-quads (250 class) with propellers attached or as much as five to six mini-quads (250 class) without propellers attached. Also, it can fit tools, 15” laptop, light jacket, radio transmitter, extra batteries, goggles, spare props, multiple GoPros, parallel charger, and lots of other things.

Backpack Overview

We understand, for around 200 dollars you can buy three other bags. However, think of it. With Airport Helipak Backpack you will get all the needed gears for an excellent FPV experience in a single pit stop. Having one backpack rather than two or three is convenient.

We tried to find a great bag that fits our needs. However, sadly the majority of the drone bags are created for a particular model. Even when it fit for some other models as well, it can store just one-by-one. Among the many racing drones which we have gotten for review, many of them only came inside a cardboard package, making it hard for us to carry more quadcopters in an extended FPV trip.

FPV Airport Helipak Backpack by Think Tank Photo is designed to bring a First-person view racer’s entire multirotor racing gear to their upcoming race. This comfortable backpack holds all their accessories, drones, equipment, and tools and is made to meet nearly all international and U.S.A domestic carry-on requirements.

Backpack Description

The bag was shipped in around one week from Think Tank Photo to Sri Lanka, and it arrived inside a cardboard package. Came home we quickly removed the backpack from the nylon bag and the box.

On initial impression, FPV Airport Helipak not only that looks well-built, but it appears to be comfortable. The dimension of the backpack is around 34.5 × 50 × 22.5 cm plus weights around two kilograms.

Internal attachment points and custom divider set points mainly created for the first-person view (FPV) pilot enables you to rearrange your bag based on what accessories you are having.

Can Hold the Following Things:

Around two to three 250 class micro-quadcopters with propellers attached or around five to six 250 class micro-drones without propellers attached.

Tools

15” laptop

Light jacket

Radio transmitter

Extra batteries

Goggles

Spare props

Multiple GoPros

Parallel Charger

And other things that you could fit in.

A rain cover which is seam-sealed is included in case you get trapped by torrential rains.

You can choose to hang your quadcopters (with propellers installed) outside effortlessly using buckles and webbing daisy chains. This method you can hook around four to five flying quadcopters, making you appear as a hedgehog.
